Dear Greg, Riccardo, et al.

If I > remember correctly, BGRA raw mode requires PIL 1.1.7. @Riccardo - Thanks for the advice, Riccardo. I think I was already on 1.1.7 - but maybe an alpha release(?) Anyway, I have now standardised across Python 2.6 and 2.7 with the latest PIL installers from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. > Greg wrote: > I will try to do an aggdraw build for 2.7.

I am pleased to say, however, that it is less critical now that I have worked through my cairo issues! : ) Previously I was getting: Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> from rdkit import Chem >>> from rdkit.Chem import AllChem, Draw >>> mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles("c1ccccc1") >>> AllChem.Compute2DCoords(mol) >>> im = Draw.MolToImage(mol) !!!PYTHONW.EXE CRASH!!! Finally, after a morning of going round in circles (and following red-herring Dependency Walker trails(!)), things are running well; with RDKit now happily calling cairo! I thought it might be useful for others to list the versions of software / DLLs that I finally found to work: Windows XP Pro. SP3 (32-bit) Python 2.7.1 (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.1/python-2.7.1.msi) PIL 1.1.7 (installer - http://effbot.org/downloads/PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7.exe) Pycairo-1.8.10.win32-py2.7 (installer - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.8/pycairo-1.8.10 .win32-py2.7.exe) Libcairo-2.dll (get from the following archive: http://wxpython.org/cairo/cairo_1.8.6-1_win32.zip) libpng12-0.dll (get from the following archive: http://wxpython.org/cairo/libpng_1.2.34-1_win32.zip) Zlib1.dll (get from the following archive: http://wxpython.org/cairo/zlib123-dll.zip) I then put the 3 DLLs into the C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\cairo\ folder, and made sure that this is on the system path. The use of the wxPython DLLs seemed to be the key to sorting things out (I certainly tried a few other versions!) - thanks to Alex Matan's blog-post for the instructions (http://electromagnetictelegraph.com/install-cairo-wxpyton-pycairo-pytho n-windows) The setup under 2.6 was exactly the same - except I used the corresponding 2.6 installer for PIL, and used the Pycairo-1.8.4.win32-py26 from the wxPython site (http://wxpython.org/cairo/pycairo-1.8.4.win32-py2.6.exe) as detailed in Alex's blog. I can add these instructions to to the wiki if you like(?)
